Vaikuntha is said to be an amsa of the amsa of the Nitya Vrindavana.It follows

that the Lord of Vaikuntha is also an expansion of Lord krishna.

 

>It is mentioned in Gopala Tapini upanishad that krishna is an avatara or

NarayaNA.

 

Krishna IS Narayana.When the Lord incarnates, He incarnates with all His

expansions(amsa-bhagena). Hence, there is no problem in saying that Krishna is

an amsa or avatara of Ksirodakasayi Vishnu or Vamana deva or Garbhodakasayi

Vishnu (who is the Narayana in GTU 2.32) or Narayana Rishi etc.Numerous quotes

can be found in various sastras that Krishna is an avatara of the

afore-mentioned expansions and all these statements are true.But the Gaudiya

Vaishnava acharyas have given the most confidential meaning, that He is the

original Personality of Godhead who manifested the most wonderful qualities and

mellows.

 

The same GTU later states how Krishna is the top-most form to be worshipped

and how He is the supreme personality of Godhead.It should also be noted that

the Purusha avatara Maha-Vishnu who expanded as Garbhodakasayi Vishnu is also

one of the avataras, hence, there is no problem in including Krishna in the

list. As in SB, here too, Krishna is established as the eternally topmost form

of Lord Narayana.
